Reptilians

Right off the bat the Director sits down and says he's not a big believer in conspiracy theories and the like and doesn't scour the internet for such stories but then goes on to say he's a big fan of the paranormal and how he saw a Star Wars-like space cruiser fly over his house as a kid. ANYONE who believes in Lizard People absolutely believes in conspiracies and the associated BS that accompanies it.

This is not a cheap production and time and effort has been put into this film but don't go into this thinking you'll hear rational discussion about this topic, be prepared to listen to a cavalcade of questionable/paranoid characters discussing their theories that the world government is controlled by bipedal lizards masquerading as people.

UAPs Greys Roswell Reptilians Pleiadians Shadow governments Are all covered. It's silly paranoid and fear mongering drivel. I'm sure there is an audience somewhere for this but nothing new or insightful is presented here and appears to be cash grab capitalizing on the recent UAP conversations.

Amazing use of stock footage, three interviewees (including the director himself) speculating wildly about reptilian people, garden of evil, baby eating, demons, giants, and more.

Besides the interviews with the director and the back of the head of the poor woman who has obviously adopted all the QAnon ravings, the rest of the film is a montage of stock footage and video game style special effects.

Overall a very sad revelation of how far rational thought has strayed. We watched it thinking it would be a bit tongue-in-cheek and have some fun with the reptilian conspiracy. From the description, we thought there might be some discussion about why people but in to crazy conspiracies. None of that. Just ravings and speculation. A train wreck.

Every time I thought the takes were as crazy as it gets, they'd say "how could these eyewitnesses be lying?" The editing is atrocious, the animation is... interesting, to say the least. Bigfoot mentioned multiple times. There's narration over stock footage, but silence during the animation???

I was hopeful for an actual analysis of the psychology of people who believe in the reptilian conspiracy theory, and what leads people to believe in those things, but this was just a crash course in general reptilian, conspiracy theory.

This "documentary" is more about how people can become radicalized with insane ideas so very easily. While there is so much cool information about cryptids and ufo lore around aliens. All that information was skipped over and instead turned into a fever dream about how the government is evil, and Elon musk will save us. If you like Trump you will love this because it's nonsense on a stick.

Also the director does an interview in his room that's so messy they just block out the background. Like you couldn't clean your room for your movie?

When you have paranoid, fear based thoughts it's best to just not listen to them!

Alrighty then, well I thought that this was actually a sci-fi movie of sorts, so imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a documentary.

Now, I've seen my fair share of dubious and questionable documentaries, but "Reptilians" from writer and director Silas James Rowland definitely is the icing on the cake. When and if you opt to sit down to watch "Reptilian", you have to ensure that you are wearing your tinfoil hat a few sizes too tight.

This was definitely the most laughable documentary I've seen in ages. Talk about a laughable concept conjured up to people with way too vivid imaginations and too much time on their hands. Seriously? A race of reptilian humanoids Hellbent to take over the world? I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the absurdity that people actually being this stuff.

The visual effects and CGI effects in "Reptilians" was not particularly great. It looked and felt like something taken out of a shoddy computer game.

It takes a certain type of crackpot to believe in the topic that "Reptilians" deals with. But they are out there, sadly so.

I would not recommend you to waste 76 minutes of your life to sit down and watching "Reptilians". It just simply isn't worth the time or effort. Some of us suffered through this and took on for the team. You're very welcome.

My rating of writer and director Silas James Rowland's 2024 documentary "Reptilians" lands on a one out of ten stars.
